How do they count the 20 or so views? Cookies? If so, if you disable cookies for that site do you still get access?

I disabled cookies as an experiment on the Globe & Mail here in Canada when it said I should now pay for a subscription. I can still access all of their articles. :sneaky:

Reminding me means I got to send my brother a happy birthday message before he sends the usual stroppy one saying thanks for forgetting again!!!

So I will be celebrating tonight for various reasons - 1. toasting my brother, 2. blue skies here and slightly warmer, 3. finally getting a new laptop - only about 2 years too late, this thing dies a little more every day, 4. as Steve_P said enjoying being alive and having a good time, and 5 - why not celebrate St George's day and celebrate being English, I personally think more should be done for the day back in UK. After all, the Irish, Welsh and Scots manage to celebrate their days without it upsetting others or coming across as hating other races.

I love St. George's Day, we used to have nice cakes, but the EDL being deluded and racist wankers, have co-opt·ed and ruined the celebration. :thumbdown:

How ancient you must be. Even when I was a child, celebrating the day, and especially waving the flag, was primarily associated with the National Front. It's only on this board that I've heard mention of either in a context not specifically intended as racist. I suppose the equivalent here would be waving a Confederate flag.
